  GUI of MedId Google extension

Inspiration

MedId was influenced by the increasing amount of people who cannot care for themselves when it comes to healthcare due to lack of knowledge or funds.

What it does

MedId is an extension for Chrome that analyses your medical symptoms and tells you the possible causes and provides emergency advice if necessary.

How we built it

First we started off with a simple python build to which we later remodelled into a javascript program to allow it to be an extension rather than an app that requires storage and time to download. This allows the app to be easy to download and accessible to all.

Challenges we ran into

At first, we had written the code in python but later realised that google extensions cannot directly support python. So we converted the code into JavaScript with ai as help as we do not know JavaScript (yet).

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud of the fact that we were able to incorporate ai using an API key which was quite a challenge in the beginning but with the help of Ryan (a mentor), we were able to find a API that worked for us. Thanks Ryan :D

What we learned

We learnt a lot of different languages through this project. For example, we have learnt a lot more about javascript and html than we knew before and have also learnt about how extensions are made

What's next for MedId

We are planning to first make MedId an official Chrome Extension by doing the formal process. Other than that, we will also be adding a photo recognition feature to allow for more accuracy and simplicity for the user.
